Ok, I'm trying to build a new away system for my mIRC script. And I have run into some problems here. Everytime I use the change status command on it, it just says ( ) unknown command. Here is the code.

Code:

menu status,menubar {
  Away System
  .Status ( $+ %AwayStatus $+ ) : /AwayStatus
  .Reason ( $+ %AwayReason $+ ) :/AwayReason $$?="Reason:"
}

alias AwayReason {
  set -n %AwayReason $$1
  echo **Away Reason Set
}

alias AwayStatus {
  if (%AwayStatus == 0) {
    set %AwayStatus 1
  echo **You are now set as away! }
  elseif (%AwayStatus == 1) {
    set %AwayStatus 0
  echo **You are not set as away! }
}

on *:TEXT:$me:#: {
  if (%AwayStatus == 1)  
  me is away! Reason: %AwayReason
}

WTF is wrong here?

masterofpuppets M	WTF?!?! Why would I need two reasons? And it still doesn't work.

By doing it with both at the same time, you can check which one does NOT work easier. Those who fail history are doomed to repeat it

masterofpuppets M	Hmm. That didnt fix it. It just won't change the status to 1.

Reason: %AwayReason }

masterofpuppets M	Ok, I got that working. But now I want it to show the amount of time from when i set the status to 1 and back to 0. I have tried idle but that just returns in seconds and doesn't use a hh:mm:ss style which is what i need. Can you recommend any methods of doing that?
